I don't really tend to talk too much about the brushes I use everyday on my blog. But this one has wowed me so much recently that I wanted to share it with you, it's a gem you might not suspect from the name. It's the ELF Studio Powder Brush - Available from ELF for £3.50 - bargain!
The Brush
Like all the ELF Studio Brushes this is made of silky soft taklon bristles. These are synthetic, so great for those that don't want to use animal hair and also I haven't had any shedding even with some slightly rough washing! In shape it is flat topped and reasonably dense. It also looks fairly stylish being all black and has a nice finish on the handle. Basically I'm a massive fan of the ELF Studio Brushes!
How do I use it?
I generally tend to use this with liquid foundation despite it being designed as a powder brush. I simply squirt a small amount in the middle and repeatedly pat it around my face, giving small stokes with it too in some places such as my jawline. So pretty much I use this as you would a stipple brush except it's denser.
What makes it my favourite?
It's really easy and quick to use when I'm in a rush. But what really makes it stand out is that it gives a beautiful flawless coverage. It also has a fab habit of making the foundation you've used seem like it has a better coverage than it actually does.
I really can't give this brush enough praise, and just hope that I don't fall out of love with it! The foundation I currently love using with it is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum one - which is also amazing! But as always if you have any questions/comments etc then leave me a comment below and I'll get back to you all. Thanks for stopping by, H :)



Elf brushes are so great, especially for the price! This brush actually looks kind of similar to my favorite foundation brush, which is the sigma f80.
ReplyDeleteI've just had a quick google of the f80 and you're right they do look similar. I haven't tried any sigma brushes, I am always tempted by them though. Oneday...
DeleteI absolutely love this brush to bits, it's in my post for the favourite products of 2011! So happy I found a fellow Elf cosmetics lover, hehe
